I'm looking for a list of geomtric shapes

I'm teaching an ESL course on technical English and want to a segment on 2 and 3 dimensional geometric shapes. Does anyone have a place where one can download printable drawings of these? I would prefer not to have to do the drawing myself! You would think this would be an easy thing to find, but either I'm being extremely stupid in my search or...
Thanks

I should have mentioned that I googled the term and did the wiki search. Those are fine if you are going to use the info on-line. I was looking basically for drawings that I could download and lift into text.
enchanted learning I also saw but don't want to become a member.
I have now just created the document and used some of the shapes in Word.
Thanks for the information.
